Chris P. Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Hi everyone - more practice shots with the Samyand 135mm. This time it's our old friend Andromeda, sat right in the middle of a beautiful star field. Really happy with the natural star colour this lens provides. 88 x1min exposures at ISO1600 and f4 from my modded Canon 450d. ?

You can also use Sharpcap polar align to confirm your polar alignment - but the reticule on the mount is pretty good. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Thanks for that Chris ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithysteve Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Nicely framed image, with a fair bit of detail in the lanes... and M32 and M110 look great too. ? Chris P. and +Derbyshire Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Derbyshire Dave Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Nice one Chris, that really is a different perspective. Chris P. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
